WAIT! – we hear you cry. Weren’t there just three director positions open? Yes, that is true. However, the final two candidates tied in number of votes. Out of respect for the voices of our membership, the current Board decided to expand the incoming board from 11 members to 12 for the 2023-2024 election year, so that both elected candidates could be included.
Congratulations to all who ran. We hope that those of you who did not win this time around will join or continue to serve on one of the NCIHC committees. This is where the fun work happens!
